Samira Efendi - Cleopatra [Eurovision 2020 Azerbaijan]

Written & Composed by
Luuk van Beers, Alan Roy Scott, Sarah Lake

Azerbaijan's public broadcaster İctimai has revealed that they will enter Eurovision 2020 with 'Cleopatra', by Efendi (formerly known as Samira Efendi). The song was written by Luuk van Beers, Alan Roy Scott and Sarah Lake and was produced together with Tony Cornelissen.

Cleopatra features an ethnic sound with 3 traditional Azerbaijani instruments; an oud (a traditional guitar-like string instrument), a balaban (a wind instrument) and a tar (a string instrument added to the UNESCO's List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity).
About her song, Efendi says: "Cleopatra is a song about trusting your gut instinct, standing up for yourself and being a “queen” - even when things get tough and especially if someone betrays or hurts you. It is truly a song about freedom, a celebration of all cultures and all sexualities and it’s a song that is meant to inspire people to be who they are and to be proud of themselves - just as Cleopatra was. She was a queen who went through love, heartbreak, and betrayal, but she stood up for herself and is now remembered as an icon of strength and femininity."

The music video for Cleopatra was filmed in Azerbaijan at the Gobustan State Historical and Cultural Reserve.
